New postdoctoral fellow at the Fitz

Dr Susan Cunningham arrived from New Zealand in May this year to take a postdoctoral fellowship at the Fitz. Her research uses behavioural approaches to assess the vulnerability of arid-land birds to climate change and focuses particularly on the ways in which foraging and/or breeding strategies are affected by ambient temperature. Susan ('Susie') works in collaboration with Phil Hockey and Rowan Martin fom the Fitz, and Ben Smit and Andrew McKechnie from the University of Pretoria.

More information about Susie and her research interests can be found on her newly posted homepage.

Links to the homepages for everyone associated with the Fitz can be found on the Staff, Students and Associates page.
